Our first time at Diavola but definitely not our last! Very friendly, attentive service without hovering, good menu with food that took us back to Italy! Such a great neighborhood vibe. A bit loud but still able to carry on a conversation.
Our group of three needed a relatively quick dinner before attending a performance a few blocks south. We chose Diavola because we could get a reservation and we already knew the menu choices. Our server, Julian, was spot on in helpfulness. Our food was excellent. Our wine choice was terrific. And Julian got us out in plenty of time to make our curtain.
We love Diavola. We are regular customers. Everything we've ever had has been delicious. Their menu items are great, and we love any specials we've tried. Tonight we had the pistachio encrusted tuna with homemade pasta. It was wonderful!

The best pizza place I've been to in the US! Authentic real Italian style pizza. The crust🤌 was so perfect, slightly chewy like perfectly risen yeast with a slight crunch to the crust. No soggy dough over here!! The bottom wasn't overly done either. I will travel the 1.5 hours or takes to eat this pizza, it's that good.
I also appreciate the sauce, it wasn't too sweet or tangy. It was savory.
The desserts- the gelato with cocoa powder, the cheesecake and tiramisu to freaking die for. Gelato was smooth and Rick but not overly done, it was sweet without too much richness. The cheesecake, thick and creamy with a sweet graham crust and then the tiramisu- fresh, fluffy, creamy melt in your mouth perfection.
The Service was great, our waiter brought out the food as it was ready, he gladly took photos and was quick to refill drinks. Loved his vibe and the way he treated us!
Can't wait to go back!

Our server was perfect! 21st birthday experience was great for our niece and entire party.
Great food, good portions. The salmon with lobster risotto sauce was perfect. Saw other patrons with the wood-fired pizza and it looked great too! Service was excellent. Lively environment.
I had the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in my life here. We aren’t from Indianapolis but will come back just for this pizza.

Holy Cannoli and The Diavola pie!
Love the food here and have been many times, but the service last night was sooooooo slow. I know the kitchen had a lot of to-go orders going through, but to have the kitchen be so backed up for the dine-in customers that it takes over an hour to get our food was just frustrating. Our server did apologize, but he left us waiting for uncomfortably long periods of time wondering if/when we could order and also where our food was in the process. I asked for a to-go box and he took my pizza away to box it up and 5 minutes later still hadn't returned so we left (we were in a rush at that point). On the way out, we passed our waiter who was talking to someone out front, so he wasn't even in back boxing up the food. I wondered how much longer we would have had to stand there waiting if we had waited. We had a 5:30 reservation and ended up being late to our 7:30 show because, despite being sat at 5:32 and ordering by 6, our dinner was served at 6:55 (the waiter knew we wanted to be out of there at 7pm and 5:30 should dinner should have been plenty of time). Super disappointed.

Host station not very attentive and far from respectful when I inquired about our reservation at 15 minutes past the reserved time. Teach them that the customer pays their salary when we dine there and try to show just average customer service if you are greeting the customers.
We were there on a busy night and our server was working hard, but may have been overwhelmed with his tables. We will be back again.

Friends of mine recommended this place and pizza is my fav food so had high hopes but this pizza had an overpowering charred flavor. Not sure if just unlucky day and normally is good but my entire family could barely finish a slice bc the overpowering charred flavor. Family of 4 (two adults, two young children) cost was over $100 plus tip. Not a good value at all imo.
This place comes highly recommended from a few close friends and I see they have a number of great reviews on here. So perhaps their food is amazing and perhaps their in person customer service is as well, but their website is what I am disappointed with. I tried placing a catering order with them and was unable to state what I wanted. Then I called and mentioned I had never eaten there before, and the person on the phone didn't seem to take this as a cue to suggest specials, items, or things that I might be interested in trying for the order. So, of course I won't be ordering there this time, but I am hoping management / owner will consider something different with the online order form since the people at the restaurant seem to really prefer a person being already familiar with the menu if they need to take an order over the phone.
